In this episode, we dive into the world of hunting and wildlife management in Colorado, where a contentious constitutional amendment is on the ballot. Amendment 83 would enshrine the right to hunt and fish in the state's constitution, but its proponents and opponents have vastly different visions for the future of wildlife management in Colorado.

Ross and Jeana is joined by Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and former head of the Humane Society of the United States. Wayne is leading the opposition to Amendment 83, citing concerns that it would undermine regulations and allow for the return of extreme hunting practices. He argues that the amendment's language is vague and would give hunters and trappers a constitutional right to hunt and trap, without any limitations.

Wayne shares his experiences working on previous ballot measures, including a ban on bear baiting and hound hunting, and restrictions on steel-jawed leg-hole traps. He notes that these measures were passed by voters, but were later rolled back when similar amendments were passed in other states. He warns that Amendment 83 would have a similar effect, allowing for the return of practices like bear baiting and trapping.

If you're interested in learning more about the implications of Amendment 83 and the future of wildlife management in Colorado, tune in to this episode to hear Pacelle's arguments and insights.

This episode is a thought-provoking discussion that takes us from the world of coffee creamers to the complexities of politics and social issues.

The episode covers a wide range of topics, including the recent protests in France, the impact of government regulations on small businesses, and the importance of individual freedoms. Ross also talks to a retired US Navy Rear Admiral, Eileen Laubacher, who is running for Congress in the 4th district, about her vision for the future of the country and her commitment to serving the people of her district.
